It’s SuperComputing 2025, Nimbus Innovation Awards’ first ever all-quantum exhibits are generating quite the buzz. Scheduled for November 21st, the new and thus far exclusive awards event seeks to honor the ground-breaking scientists and engineers making quantum progress possible – leading to better computing, materials science, cryptography and so much more.
“The inaugural Nimbus Innovation Awards, sponsored by Quantum Computing Alliance (QCA) and it’s elite industry partners, could not come at a more critical time as quantum technology promises to play an increasingly larger role in the future of high-performance computing.”
“We are at a tipping point for the commercialization of quantum technologies,” said Dr. Evelyn Reed, QCA’s chief executive. “The Nimbus Awards were created to focus attention on the people who have been relentless and innovative in their pursuit of making theory into reality. What they work on today will become the tech landscape of tomorrow.”
This year’s event will include multiple categories such as “Lifetime Achievement in Quantum Foundations,” “Outstanding Quantum Software Development,” and “Pioneering Quantum Hardware Design.” The top-secret list of laureates is still waiting to be made public until the ceremonies but rumours are precious metals laureates from academia and industry for both breakthrough research and different practical real-life applications.
The conference is anticipated to bring a sold-out audience of researchers, industry leaders and fans looking to celebrate these technological achievements.
What better setting than SuperComputing 2025, combined with the best and brightest in supercomputing, AI, and emerging technologies, for the Nimbus Innovation Awards? The key theme of the conference is the interplay between classical high-performance computing and quantum developments, the two areas in convergence.
The awards are a celebration of individual success that results from, and also leads to, collaboration and will help drive more investment and development across the quantum ecosystem.
Quantum technology is expected to have a devastating impact on the computer world — from drug discovery and financial modelling to unbreakable encryption – and it could affect our personal security and privacy.
The Nimbus Innovation Awards are an embodiment of the fact that it takes a village to unlock this potential and a validation of the pioneers who are taking us on this journey. The quantum world is anxiously awaiting the group’s announcement of this year’s inductees, recognizing their crucial part in enabling the next wave of technology innovation.
